Can't run the game.
First i thought the downloaded file is corrupted ( downloaded twice ). The download size of the file is 352*876*224 byte . Installed ,but the game not starting when i click on the launch game button . Game version is 1.0.0.15.
I'm using Vista Ultimate x64,and the other episodes work fine.

    Do you get any error message?
    Do you have LUA installed?
    Do other Telltale Games work?

    Please also attach a dxdiag log and try a clean boot.

    dxdiag
    Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
    Windows Vista / 7: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.

    Now click on the button that says "save all information".
    It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it.

    Then zip the file and attach it to a reply in this Thread.

    Booting clean in Windows Vista / 7:
    1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG --> Click OK
    2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup
    3. Uncheck Load Startup Items
    4. Select the Services tab
    5. Check Hide all Microsoft services
    6. Click Disable all
    7. Click on OK
    8. Click Restart.
    9. After reboot, run the game to see if it works.

    After performing the necessary steps, restore your system by doing the following:

    1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG--> Click OK
    2. On the General tab, choose Normal Startup
    3. Click Ok
    4. Click Yes, when asked to restart your computer

    If the clean boot doesn't work please post the SHA-1 or MD5 Hash of the WallaceGromit101_setup.exe. You can get these with Hashcheck by right clicking the file and selecting "properties/checksums.

    Your File is correct.

    In order to keep troubleshooting systematically i need to know the result of the clean boot and the dxdiag log.

    That's great, because it means that some software you normally run in the background stops the game from working. Now you only have to find out which.
    Usually Security Software is most likely to cause trouble with other Software.

    What Security Software do you have running and which Version?

    Try disabling only that to find out if it interferes with the game.

    Okay, then the only option is to track it down by systematically disabling different applications. I would start by doing the clean boot again, but skipping step 6 so all services keep running.
    If it doesn't work then we have narrowed it down to these and you can start disabling half of them until you tracked down which one is responsible.
